Make me a channel of your peace

We are looking for sign, for guidance whenever we are in doubt. We do not know the true wisdom behind every sign that has already been shown to us.
Instead of asking for a sign, we should ask what we should do to realize the sign of Love that lives inside our faith. Instead of asking for a sign, Saint Francis asked of a chance to be a sign of love, a channel of love and peace.

The hymn version of the prayer of Saint Francis is printed on today’s leaflet. It’s my favorite prayer and also a school song that I’d been singing every day for five years.

Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there is hatred let me bring your love,
Where there is injury your pardon Lord,
And where there's doubt true faith in you.
Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope,
Where there is darkness, only light,
And where there's sadness, ever joy.
O Master grant that I may never seek,
So much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we are born to eternal life.
